Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Does this small light can take the weight of a big light modifier such as 90cm or 120cm ones?

A: The amaran COB 60d S Daylight LED Monolight can accept any Bowens mount modifier without an adapter. The light itself can take the weight. The concern lies in the strength of the tilting stand mount with an umbrella holder that comes with the amaran COB 60d S Daylight LED Monolight. The weight of a 120cm (47") modifier may cause the light to tilt downward, unless the tilting stand mount is tightened properly.

Q: 7. Is this light suitable for outdoor use when shooting hummingbirds in shady areas?

A: The amaran COB 60x S is an ideal light for videos and interviews and can easily fill in shaded areas with light. You can dial in the intensity from 1% - 100% and the light has the following photometrics at specific distances. 111° at 5600K: 594 fc / 6400 Lux at 3.3' / 1 m, 70 fc / 764 Lux at 9.8' / 3 m, 27 fc / 291 Lux at 16.4' / 5 m.

Q: 9. What a dc-ac inverter would you recommend to use to power Amaran 60x S?

A: The amaran COB 60x S Bi-Color LED Monolight BH #AMAPA0020A20 would need an inverter capable of sustaining at least a 60w draw. You will want to consult with an automotive specialist to see which inverters are suitable for your vehicle and will not void the warranty.

Q: 10. New 60Xs's output : 33,300 Lux@3.3'. Current 60X's output : 37,775 Lux at 3.3' . Is New 65W model darker than old 60W version?

A: The Amaran COB 60x S Bi-Color LED Monolight (B&H# AMAPA0020A20) has a new COB LED assembly with different characteristics from those of its prededecessor, the 60x (note that there is no S in the name of the older one). The newer COB LED assembly of the 60x S offers better color, but also a different beam spread from that of the earlier 60x (no S). For that reason, the answer to your question depends on whether or not the Hyper Reflector (Mini) is used with each light. Specifically, the original Amaran COB 60x (no S) is slightly brighter with no reflector added than the newer Amaran COB 60x S. However, due to the update, the newer 60x S actually produces a slightly brighter center spot than the original 60x (no S) when the Hyper Reflector (Mini) is used.
